ST Sound Insulation?

[zslow6]

Hey guys new to the forum but my wife has had her ST for about a year. Always noticed a lot of wind/road noise (not the whistling people have mentioned) and the "cheap" sound when closing the door. She recently had to bring it to the dealer to have the trans looked at (up and down shifting like it has a shift kit installed) and was given a Limited as a courtesy car. We noticed the road/wind noise is definitely quieter and it also has a more premium "thud" when closing the doors as opposed to a r rattling "cheap" sound on her ST. Has anyone noticed this between the models? Sorry if this has been discussed but I haven't been able to find anything.

Happy New Year!

As far as I know, there is nothing different in doors between the Limited and the ST except for the number of speakers/brand.

Exactly

Interesting. Definitely notice a difference in the two. I'll have to talk to the dealer about that. Thanks!

I noticed the same thing with the doors on our new ST, like it needs some sound deadening. We had a 2016 limited before and I didnt notice the doors as I do on the new ST.

The doors have one cheap mat on the outer door skin and fiber mats on the inner door panels. It’s very minimal. The rear doors only have the fiber mat...no dampener on the outer skin.

If you want it quiet...it takes some work.

I put dynamat on all four doors and it seems to be a big quieter and more of a thump when the doors are closed. like another member had said it took a bit of work and quite a bit of time but it was well worth the effort. Next I'm going to remove the seats lift the rug and put it underneath the rug.
